            The new ROG Strix XG258Q resembles its close relative — the ROG Swift PG258Q — when it comes to key characteristics such as FHD resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate. However whereas the PG258Q is a G-Sync monitor, the new XG258Q uses AMD's FreeSync instead.Nov 27, 2017

            However whereas the PG258Q is a G-Sync monitor, the new XG258Q uses AMD's FreeSync instead. Along with the variable refresh features, the new monitor also features ELMB (extreme low motion blur) tech as well as ASUS' Aura RGB lighting effects on the back.Nov 27, 2017
